Camino de Sant… (not verified)

They don't have a number system and are first come first serve, so many people had to wait until 3pm in front of the albergue when they arrived. But it was full and later they turned people away.

The albergue has a nice vibe of the "convent" with the corridoors and the yard.
The donation is not anonymous - you are asked to put money at the registration and the host is a bit pushy.

Nice breakfast, some kitchen facilities like a microwave and water cattle.
Decent option!

Nice hospitalerios, the place is cool, with decent showers, a washing machine, nice courtyard with loads of washing lines, coffee,toast & marmalade in the morning. There are secure lockers, which have a power point inside, so phone charging not an issue, a nice hilled place, after a really hard walk.

Thankful the place was open (May 2022). Very tight accommodations, received a stink eye for our donativo, and one of the mattresses had mold on the underside. Only one power outlet in a room with six beds. Options are unfortunately few in this stretch. Would have considered pushing on but it was a very hot day.

Rude host, dirty place. But due to the difficult hike slept like a baby. The building itself is great but need a serious reconstruction. Avoid if you can. Fox

Nice and cozy place, long tables with some kitchen facilities (kettle and microwave) were good for the communal spirit of the Camino and I had a great night. Bathrooms are clean and there’s warm water in the showers. Actually opened at 14:30.

Nice hospitaleros. Very simple beds but lots of space. Have a nice sunny courtyard for washing clothes and a spinner to get water out.
